Morgan Stanley launches $34M Bitcoin ETF after calling it '$0' in 2017

Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley predicts crypto will become so mainstream by the end of 2026 that it will be "uninteresting", as Morgan Stanley's embrace of digital assets signals broader Wall Street acceptance. His comments followed observations that Morgan Stanley Investment Management now prominently features crypto offerings on its homepage. The bank recently launched its spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) with a 0.14% annual fee, undercutting rivals including BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust. Morgan Stanley's fund attracted approximately $34 million in net inflows on its first trading day, with over 1.6 million shares traded, marking one of the strongest ETF debuts in the past year. The shift is particularly striking given the bank called Bitcoin potentially worthless in 2017, highlighting the changing institutional attitude towards digital assets.

Morgan Stanley ranks Meta, Amazon, Google ahead of Q1 earnings on AI returns and capex outlook

Morgan Stanley has ranked Meta, Amazon and Google as its top picks ahead of first-quarter earnings, citing four macro themes that will shape performance through 2026. The bank highlighted revenue acceleration and GenAI return on investment signals as key drivers, whilst warning that rising 2027 capital expenditure expectations—15% above consensus for hyperscalers—may cap valuations. Morgan Stanley also flagged consumer weakness in branded advertising markets as not yet priced in. Meta remains the bank's top pick, with focus on top-line growth guidance and MetaAI rollout. For Amazon, analysts expect AWS growth of 29-31% and a path to $10-11 GAAP earnings per share by 2027. Google is projected to deliver high-teens paid search growth and 60% year-over-year cloud growth.
